Abstract "The Routledge Handbook of Asian Music introduces Asian music as a way to ask questions about what happens when cultures converge and how readers may evaluate cultural junctures through expressive forms. The volume's thirteen original chapters cover musical practices in historical and modern contexts from Central Asia, East Asia, South Asia, and Southeast Asia, including art music traditions, folk music and composition, religious and ritual music, as well as popular music. These chapters showcase the diversity of Asian music, requiring readers to constantly reconsider their understanding of this vibrant and complex area. It is divided into three sections: Locating Meanings; Boundaries and Difference;, Cultural Flows Contributors to the handbook offer a multi-disciplinary portfolio of methods, ranging from archival research and field ethnography, to biographical studies and music analysis. In addition to rich illustrations, numerous samples of notation and sheet music are featured as insightful study resources. Readers are invited to study individuals, music-makers, listeners, and viewers to learn about their concerns, their musical choices, and their lives through a combination of humanistic and social-scientific approaches. Demonstrating how transformative cultural differences can become in intercultural encounters, this handbook will appeal to students and scholars of musicology, ethnomusicology, and anthropology"-- Provided by publisher.
